I had the pleasure of meeting Trainman on Vision and didn’t know of his stature as a favorite reviewer and teller of tales. Then I read his review of that Vision cruise and learned more about him. I was in one of his posted pictures riding the railroad in St Kitts.
Thanks for a great review and those very cool pictures. We sailed the Canal aboard HAL Zaandam this past January and you caught a few things that I didn't see.
Our cruise did not overnight in Panama so I still need to set foot in that country so I really enjoyed the excursion reports.
Not only must the birth certificate be government issue, but it has to be an official "original", sealed, stamped, what have you. A photocopy of a BC won't work.
Sure, you can call maintenance to tighten a couple of cabinet doors or take 45 seconds and get 'er done.
I'm more inclined to use my time wisely and just get 'er done instead of spending way more than 45 seconds making a call to Guest Services.
It's my understanding that Celebrity has a happy hour for Elite (RCI Diamond equivalent) and higher every evening with unlimited drinks. No happy hour on boarding day.
I carry my 25+ tool SAK in my toiletries kit in checked luggage and never have had a problem. Sometimes my multitool is in there too. I don't zip tie our zippers.
Don't you get a Chef's Table discount with UDP? Radiance Class has a private dining room for that and it's a very nice experience.
Be advised the menu is the same across the fleet but the wines change up a bit.
